Massacre of Bani Quraiza: Muslim Ummah's Happiest Day

The day of Bani Quaiza massacre was the happiest, the most festive, day for the Muslim umma in Medina. (read in Bangla)

Prophet had ordered the beheading of all Quraiza adult men (about 900), and the distribution of all their belongings, including their women and children:

Al-Tabari VIII:38:

"The Messenger of Allah commanded that all of the Jewish men and boys who had reached puberty should be beheaded. Then the Prophet divided the wealth, wives, and children of the Banu Qurayza Jews among the Muslims."

Quran mentions this incident briefly in two ayas [33.26-27]:

"Many ye slew, and many ye made prisoners…And Allah gave you their lands, their houses, and their goods and women, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things."

All jubilant Muslims of Medina had gathered to watch the colorful beheading spectacle, and anticipated booty distribution. A trench was dug in the market-place. Several men were in charge of disrobing the Jewish male prisoners for checking the growth of pubic-hair. Those having pubic-hair were marked for beheading, and the rest were sent to the enslavement camp...

Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38, Number 4390:

Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi:

"I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair."

Their clothes were salvaged for booty.

Prophet supervised the massacre logistics, while many sahabas, including Ali, Abu Bakr, Umar and Hamza, conducted the beheadings…

The ceremonial beheading was inaugurated by the prophet himself by cutting the head of the Quraiza chief, Kab Bin Asad, with loud takbirs (i.e. Allah u Akbar) to commence the festivity. As blood gushed from the infidel’s throat, men and women shouted Allah u Akbar, and sang songs praising Allah and Mohammad...

Here is a video of a modern-day young jihadis, following the sunna of the prophet and the other momins (believers), shouting Allah u Akbar, and singing Allah’s Hamd as the infidel blood is gushing out.

The naked Jewish men were brought in batches to the edge of the trench, and their heads cut off and the bodies pushed into the trench. As each Jew was murdered, Muslim men and women danced with joy (as Palestinians danced on 9/11).

After the massacre was completed, the booty was distributed, including the real estate, personal belongings, and the women and children. First, the holy Prophet took his 20% prophetic cut. The crowning jewel of his share of booty was the gorgeous teenager Rehana. The remaining booty was distributed by a fair lottery system among the jihadis.

Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 362:

"Narrated Ibn Umar:

Prophet then killed their men and distributed their women, children and property among the Muslims…"

"Sirat e Rasulullah" by Ibn Ishaq, p. 464:

"After 800-900 male adults of Bani Quraiza were beheaded in batches, and thrown in trenches dug in Madina, the apostle divided their property, wives and children as booty... He took Rayhana d. Amr b. Khunafa for himself."

One woman requested that she be slaughtered as well, as she would rather die than be sex-slave to the murderers of his family and community. Another man Al Zabir was exempted from beheading by the Prophet on the request of Thabit, whose life was saved by Zabir in the past. However, Zabir preferred to be beheaded rather than live, while his loved ones were murdered in cold blood. That pissed off the Prophet, and he shouted: “Go join your friends in hell fire”, and ordered Thabit to cut the throat of his benefactor friend himself.

Our prophet retired early to enjoy lovely Rehana ASAP. Having raped overnight the shell-shocked teenager—who had witnessed his brothers, father and husband beheaded earlier in the day—he offered to marry her, if she converted to Islam. She turned down his offer, and refused to be a wife of the killer of his near and dear one, including her husband. Our prophet, a true admirer of beautiful women, retained her as a concubine in his harem, which she had no way to refuse.

That was the happiest night for many bachelor momins, who were having a woman for the first time, thanks to their prophet. Many shared their booty with other bachelor friends, who could not get a woman themselves in the draw.

Here is a video of a 12-year-old girl, who was raped by several Talibans in practicing the sunna of their beloved prophet. The difference is that the raped Quraiza 12-year-olds did not have their families to cry with them like this grieving Afghan girl.

The next morning, our prophet noticed that many young jihadis had not showed up for the fajar prayers. Staying awake all night to have fun was not a good excuse for missing the compulsory salat. He ordered the huts of all those, who had not showed up for prayer, burned down while they slept in it after a fun night.

Bukhari V1:B11:N626:

“The Prophet said, “burn all those who had not left their houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes.’”

Never seen before were so many naked jihadis running out of burning huts with their beards and pubics on fire. Burning and killing bad Muslims is a very special sunna and is followed by good Muslims even today.

Prophet’s one-fifth share of the Quraiza booty was one of his biggest loot. It included over a hundred women. He kept the best looking younger ones for his personal use, and also distributed some of them for the use of his friends and relatives.

The History of Tabari, vol 8, pge 29-30:

"From his share of captive women, prophet gave his son-in-law, Ali a slave girl, Raytah bt Hilal to enjoy her at his will. He also presented Uthman b. Affan, his son-in-law, another slave girl Zainab b. Hayan, and bestowed another girl (name unknown) to his father in-law Omar Ibn Khattab. Omar gave that girl to his son Abdullah. Most of Prophet's other elite companions received slave girls as gifts."

The remainder were sent to Najd to be sold for purchasing arms and horses with the proceed [Tabari VIII:39]:

"Then the Messenger of Allah sent Sa'd bin Zayd with some of the Qurayza captives to Najd, and in exchange for them he purchased horses and arms."
